If you have not already done so, please make sure you comment on your gift(s).
Thank you all for another fantastic year of Innumerable Stars and we hope to see you again next year. Please feel free to leave a comment here on Dreamwidth or email our mailbox if you have any questions or comments.
Utúlie'n aurë! The day has come! The collection is open!
There are 42 works in the collection for your enjoyment. (Bear in mind that number might go up - there is no deadline for treats, so treats may still be posted any time.) You are an amazing group of creators!
Recipients - please make sure to comment on your gift(s) to thank your creator(s).
Creators - please bear in mind that not all recipients are able to pounce on their gift and comment immediately, no matter how much they might want to. (We know patience is difficult in this situation, but do your best.)
Everyone - creators love comments! If you like a work in the collection, tell the creator about it.
If there are any questions or issues, please let the mods know. You can drop us an ask on here, comment on DW, find us on Discord, or email us at the collection Gmail address.
Assignments are out! Check your inbox or your AO3 dash.
We hope you're as excited as we are - you have once again wowed us with the tagset, and there are some fabulous prompts. Go forth and create!
Anyone who has a placeholder Dear Creator letter - please make sure it is finished and available by Thursday, sooner if you can manage it. (The first thing most creators do is look at that letter - if you don’t have it done now, get it done ASAP!)
Assignments are due Sunday, 05 October 2025, 8:00 PM UTC
Minimum requirement is 500 words (authors) or a nice sketch on clean, unlined paper/the equivalent in your medium (artists).
If it looks like you will be unable to complete your assignment for some reason, please default as soon as you are sure and let the mods know! This allows us as much time as possible to arrange a pinch hit. There is no penalty for defaulting before the due date.
Any pinch hits will be posted here as soon as we know about them.
Treats - meaning extra gifts - are always welcome, and anyone can create them, signed up or not. If you see a prompt you love and would like to create something for it, go for it! (Treats are not subject to the minimum requirements and have no deadline.) If you think you might like to treat, you can find all the requests in the Requests Summary, and the collection is here.
Reminder that assignments are due Sunday, 05 October 2025, 8:00 PM UTC - that's one week from today.
If life has thrown you a loop and you do not expect to complete your assignment, please contact the mods. There is no penalty for defaulting prior to the deadline. The sooner you let us know, the better.

Hi! I had a question, which others might have too, so I'm fine with this being published to the blog. I'm feeling too overloaded to actually sign up, but I've looked through the prompts and felt inspired by a couple of them. Can we write fills for prompts and submit them without signing up? It just feels like less pressure, which is what I need right now.
Absolutely you can! Treats are very welcome whether or not you’ve signed up. Just please be sure that you’ve abided by your recipient’s Do Not Wants before gifting it to them.
You can also gift to the collection generally by adding it to the Innumerable Stars 2025 collection without a specific recipient.
The collection will open for posting once assignments have gone out.

Nominations Are Open!
The time has come to nominate!
Nominations are open to all, whether you plan to participate in Innumerable Stars or not. Please refresh your memory of the Nominations Information Post and make sure you are copy/pasting the names of the fandoms as stated in that post. Feel free to look through previous tagsets for inspiration and guidance, as well.
Nominations will close on Sunday, the 17th of August, at 8 PM UTC. That is a full two weeks, so there is plenty of time. You are able to nominate some tags, then save your nominations, and later go back in and nominate others, so you do not have to do it all at once. You can also edit nominations, until they have been approved.
Go forth and nominate!
Reminder that nominations close Sunday!
If you haven't gotten your nominations in yet, don't wait until the last minute!
At time of writing, Horn of Gondor ist the last fandom that needs more character nominations for people to be able to request or offer it - there must be at least three.
Can we resubmit tag nominations if we've accidentally used a character name that isn't the most popular or are those tags rejected completely?
If you have unused nominations for that fandom, you can re-nominate - just hit Edit. If you’ve used all your nominations, either submit another ask that we’ll answer privately or DM one of the mods and we’ll work with you.
It’s less about using “most popular” names than that we allow only one name for a character in the tagset. In the case of inhabitants of Arda with multiple names, we ask that nominations use the Sindarin name. So Maedhros rather than Maitimo, Nelyafinwë, or Russandol. We do not read judgements into the names, and ask that participants not do so either. (We likewise do not read judgements into the order of characters in groups - the mods ask for alphabetical to make it easier to spot duplicate tags.)

Tag clarifications
All, the mods periodically clean up the tagset (remove duplicates, clean up typos, check for any tags that we don't understand), and we have a couple questions.
Please check here for the current list - we will remove or strike out the questions as we get clarification from whoever nominated the tag(s).

Hello,
I have a question about the innumerable stars exchange. Can I nominate something from the Book of Unfinished Tales? And if so, in which "fandom" shall I put it? ;)
Hi!
You can absolutely nominated from Unfinished Tales! Generally we say nominate under Silmarillion, but if what you're looking to nominate is specific to the time of LOTR, than nominate under LOTR books. (If you're still unsure, feel free to ask us follow-up questions. We can also answer privately if you prefer.)
